I live in the woods with a 1,300 foot setback. Problem is I mow around the trees which takes time. 52 inch deck I believe.
Got up early this afternoon before work to get the yard mowed. I've been itching to try out the new mower and see how much time I would save with it. We upgraded from a 14hp Wheel horse with 38" cut to a John Deer x534, 4 wheel steer, 25hp and 48" cut. Before, I spent 4.5-5 hours on the mower each week. Today, it took me a little over two hours to cut the same amount. Granted, we've still got quite a bit of thin winter grass, but I still think I will be able to get it done in 2.5 hours. This makes me a very happy man!
The four wheel steer is kind of tough to get use to, but that combined with power steering is frigging sweet. It feels like your riding on a magic carpet. Talk about high speed turns too, there is no drag when you go to turn sharp, it just glides on through!

I put on weed & feed the other day
But it will be at least a week before I need to mow
As I just lost the last of the snow drift by my wood pile early this week
I have considered spraying the whole yard with RoundUp and mulching it
It might be cheaper in the long run LOL

I got my filters and fluids changed in my Kubota today. Blades sharpened and ready to rock and roll.
Just went and got gas complete with Stabil and Sea Foam for the mowers, saw and weed eater. I'm ready to rock!
I mowed today. More or
Less just to
Mulch up the dog shit.
Now I'm chilling on the back deck listening to my brother next door mow his. Ahhh... The sounds of spring and summer.
Cooking on the grill here in a bit before heading to the ball field. 7 days a week at the field between HS and my own kids. Someday gonna miss this. Lol

I just got my mower ready yesterday. Haven't mowed at the house yet but my dad got a golf coarse and I've spent a few hours mowing out there. Prolly all I'll get done between brush hogging the farm my house and the golf coarse.

Too wet here still. Raining all day and freaking snow in the forecast. Grass is finally turning green and growing though, so as soon as it dries out I'll start cutting.
It took me a second to figure out what the hell you were talking about haha, and yes, probably the only dandelion in that entire big ass yard was in the perfect spot to screw up my picture
